    hi all,

    woke up this morning and my pc wont go past the login screen... it just freezes

    I've gone into safe mode and done a spybot search and destroy,, didnt help

    then again in safe mode i did a system restore to a few days ago still not working.

    Anyone any ideas?

    Thanks

    interesting, there is a system log in XP in control panel/administrative tools.
    anything show up there ?

    i assume you didnt put in any new hardware (or software even?) last night ?

    Can you access last known good config by hitting F8 during boot?
